"Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that he exercises over himself." -Elie Wiesel.
Self-control means controlling our feelings, emotions and actions when we are angry, irritated, upset, enraged, etc. Self-control helps us in several ways. It leads a path for us to be a good person, it leads to a good life, it leads to happiness and receives us from certain emotions such as sadness, anger, depression and evil actions such as fight, gambling, ganging, etc. There are many ways to develop self-control. I have mentioned some of them below:
1. We need to correct our way of thinking.- Nishan Karki
Pestalozzi Children's Village India
Karma should not be our idea of helping someone. Kindness should come from within. We might think we are fooling someone by pretending to hide our thoughts but we can't hide anything from ourselves. It is about the thoughts we have and our mind's consciousness that matters. Actions that come from the heart shine apart.
If the thought is true the action comes out itself. If actions speak louder than words, thoughts speak louder than actions.

Being lost, being different is not at all bad; we, in that state, create a world of our own in the world in which we only own a few of its bits-
Comprehending this, what do you think? Is
it better to own a non-existent world or to keep on struggling to hold something
in this world where we all are?
It's like sometimes, you're deep, swimming
in your thoughts, and most of the time, you know that you are dreaming and
trust me, you will not long to wake up from those! Sometimes, having a hell of
stress from this world on your mind, closing your eyes, opening the door to
your own world and just staying there for a while feels like heaven and gives you
wings (inspired by the tagline of Red Bull…lol).
Well, moving ahead with that, sometimes
that happens with me too, wait though; I'll reframe it as per the truth-many a time! Remembering when I used to stare blankly at a point, lying in my ICU bed, my father sometimes asked me, "Wait, let me reframe that again, many times," Why are you lost?" Okay, I won't blame him for that, maybe he
thinks that it is a side-effect of my "three-year-old diffuse axonal brain
injury grade IV," Woah! That is a very complex name (lol again)! So, everyone
dreams while sleeping, but why not sometimes dream while awake? You know, but that feeling of being elsewhere while being
somewhere, when you're just sitting idle, gives you the kind of calmness you
can't find anywhere!
Plus-point, looking at a point when lost in
thoughts also increases your confidence level because you just
aren't bothered about all happening around you at that moment!
Okay, so that was a lot of thinking for this one, getting it over with, try it once and fill me in about it!

To the silent cries,
And let them rise,
They shall know that they are worth,
They are here on this Earth,
To create a future,
They don’t need a ruler,
They are much more than we think,
But we make them shrink!
Wonder who ‘they’ are in this poem? They are the unprivileged who are shown useless from their looks and way of living, but they are, after all, humans, suitable? They have taken birth on this Earth so they have as much right as we do. We have ignored their silent cries even knowing that they can change the world with a bit of education. We just need to trust them.
